As a whistle and basic first aid kit are required for use and evaluated in NLS they have both been included in the course cost and will be issued to each candidate on the first class along with their required texts, The Alert Manual & The Canadian First Aid Manual. Candidates will also receive a Lifeguard waist pack to carry their CPR mask and gloves.
